All I want for Christmas is...

This year's Christmas is one of surprises and sharing. I didn't unexpect to receive that many gifts, a tie, a rubber ball, mug, chocolate and more chocolate! I am touched. Looking back at the year. It has been quite eventful. Christmas is such a day that you thought of people you miss, ponder whether you should buy something for someone and also think "hey its gonna be a new year again..."

God has a way of answering our questions and this Christmas, He answered a few of my questions. Christmas is a season of giving, sharing, forgiving and letting go. He made me realised a few things and in that process I was able to let go a few things. Things that has always weigh like a stone in my heart, a baggage called "past" that I have been carrying. All have been let go. Or did I thought I let go? Only time will tell.

Now I can travel lighter on the journey of life. Thank you God for revealing these answers to me and showing me the answers probably at an appropriate time. This year, I have been blessed with good fortune and though its not always smooth, we would not learn anything if everything is too easy.

As I am going to eat, I want to thank God for the food, bless the food and cleanse the food and bless me, my friends and family to have a good day ahead, in Christ name. Amen.

The idiot guide to buying Christmas gifts

1. Buying a female friend an expensive Christmas gift will

a. Make her fall in love with you
b. Totally impress her and score points
c. Freaks her out

If your answer is a,
Did you really think you can buy love??

If you answer b,
Yah, you will score points in the CPL (Carrothead Premier League). Instead of impressing her, she might think you have a motive. Just like why would a guy buy her a drink and why would someone buy her something expensive?

If you got c,
You are right! Don't believe. Imagine a female friend who suddenly buy you a very expensive gift like PS3, how would feel? Well... If your answer is "I would fall in love with her." Then you can stop reading now, if not continue reading.

So how expensive is expensive? As a guide, your budget is something you will usually buy for a normal friend. Why am I writing this? Because I have dumbass friends who against good advice still buy expensive gifts when they claim they have no money.

Men are weak...

True to yourself

Have been thinking... Thinking whether I am too straightforward... Too honest... You must be wondering shouldn't we all be honest?? I always like my buddy's straightforwardness and Rayvin's frankness. When they don't like someone, they tell them, they show it and they screw them. Isn't it great! So you can be sure when they are friends with you, they geniuine like you. When you do something wrong, they will point it out and you can change.

Today a friend was joking, laughing at lunch with me. Suddenly he got serious and advise me as someone who has been through life more than me, that being straightforward is not good, showing your feeling is tantamount to suicide. All these years I have been admiring qualities that don't work?? When you are angry, show it, and don't go to bed mad, stay up and fight kind of thinking. If its war they want, its war they get type of mentality.

Being frank is helping your friends, isn't it? And don't take nonsense from people and people who loses their temper at you now and then through no fault of your own. Shouldn't we just screw them upside down rightside up??

He says not everyone can take jokes and there is the right time for everything and he preach the reasons for being a gentlemen. Somehow he didn't say a lot but what he says really makes me think and ponder and puts me in deep thoughts.

Should I stop joking, stop being honest to people, stop letting people know what they are doing is wrong? He told me I haven't seen the world yet. When I have seen it, then I can tell him how it really looks like.

I appreciate his advises because he was being honest with me which its a quality I admired. I don't really know him, probably that was one of his honest moments and for the rest of the time he say he was acting. Actually I am also dishonest, I am quite dishonest towards my own feelings.

When I was in sales, I had a team leader who told me I have a weakness and that is if I don't like someone, it can be spotted easily. Its a weakness? Oh! I hope the person that I don't like knows and don't come near me. Isn't it wonderful! Wooo.....

After so many years of following this belief, then some people come to you to tell you its wrong. Of course you should stop and think whether its true when its more than 1 person saying it. I believe in being open-minded too, thats why I took my friend's advice seriously. Always improve yourself.

I am not sure whether I should follow the advice but for now what I am sure is that, ask me for my opinion and I will tell you the truth, piss me off and I will show you my displeasure, do me wrong and I will screw you! HAHA!!!

Must be quite late.... Because I am writing nonsense....

Man......

Man is illogical....

Marching along Orchard Road looking for that elusive gift, it was people mountain people sea. Swimming in the crowd, Mr Hans had no idea what he wants to buy for that girl.

Me: "Why are you buying her a gift when you think its impossible between the both of you?"
Mr Hans: "I just want to thank her for bringing me to church."
Me: "When you are not going to join??"
Me: "You are just using Christmas as an excuse to buy her something."
Mr Hans: "Yah..."

To me, it seems like he is buying a goodbye gift for her. In the end, he only bought a Christmas card and will continue to search for "The Gift". He is giving up on the courtship because he felt it was going no where yet he still wants to buy present for her. Why? To make himself feel better??

Man is emotional.....

I have a friend who constantly has relationship problems. He always seems to meet the wrong girl. The girls he met is always full of drama and stunts. In every relationship, he always put in his best. He just broke up with his girlfriend. I don't know if its confirm this time. Because they break patch break patch break patch break patch.... But this time he seems really down. God bless him.

Man is wierd.......

A friend is constantly looking for love. I told him to get his life in order which is more important as he is young. Midway in the conversation, he told me he is sorry that he has a sudden change in mood. I told him not to be apolegetic, as the person he is sorry to is himself, as whatever mistakes he had done he is ultimately responsible for it. Suddenly he gave me a prophetic vision...

The prophet: "Tat oh man, you are exactly the same. Like the guy I knew that stumble me. Be careful as a friend. I warn you to use words carefully for you are given a gift. A gift that affects many people. If you are not careful, many people will fall. Time will show you."
The prophet: "Never ask someone to say sorry to himself, go think about it."
Me: "..... -_-" I don't understand."
The prophet: "Nah you will. Time will teach you. I can't. There is a time for it."

Suddenly I feel like I am the most dangerous person in the world like Mao Zedong or Hitler. That my words can sway a million people to go to war. I apologise if I might have upset you. I believe if encouragement and coaxing doesn't work, tough love should be use.

Man is illogical, emotional and wierd.... just like women......
